There is a fairly obvious problem that arises from not having air con installed, and that’s heat. However, heat isn’t the only problem that can strike; without air conditioning, rooms (and their occupants) can suffer from poor air quality. So, how do we achieve and maintain good indoor air quality? With intelligently installed and well maintained air conditioning units - that wasn’t a trick question! In this article, we are going to highlight some potential problems that can occur in a non-air conditioned space.
Problem Number One – Too Much Moisture
Moisture is always present in the air as a result of day to day activities – including breathing. However, there’s no need to hold your breath – this moisture is normal and can be resolved simply by installing air conditioning. Moisture can even enter buildings from the soil underneath them and the winter season can also wreak havoc on the quality of the air. As a result, we tend to close our windows and crank the heating up; reducing ventilation and circulation of the air.
Problem Number Two - Increased Temperatures
That uncomfortable feeling that you get when sitting in a stifling or muggy room can be circumvented with proper air conditioning; resulting in reduced humidity and temperatures in the air. A lack of air conditioning can negatively affect your concentration and hydration levels so if you ever start to feel irritable or not like yourself then look around for air con! You are probably just suffering the effects of a lack of air conditioning and the discomfort that comes with this.
Problem Number Three - Increased Allergens
Sneezing with itchy and irritated eyes? Sound familiar? A lack of air con can mean that external allergens such as pollen could be present in the air. This is because many offices open up windows to make up from the lack of air con, and whilst this can help to partially cool the room, it also offers allergens free reign to annoy those of us with hayfever. If you work in an office and find that you are dosing up on hayfever tablets, it might be worth asking your boss if they have ever considered air conditioning - it can eliminate those external allergens that are setting your hayfever off.
